What is Embalming?
Embalming is a service both to the deceased and
to the living which is carried out by trained and
qualified embalmers. Embalming allows the
deceased to be presented with natural colouring
and the absence of odour or other unpleasent
changes which would otherwise follow soon after
death. Embalming also ensures that the body of
the deceased is free from possible infection to the
living.
What about arrangements for a Cremation?
Today, all of the Christian denominations,
including the Catholic Church and the Church
of Ireland allow Cremation.
As with burials, it is normal, but not obligatory,
to have the appropiate services celebrated
in the local Church. The coffin is then removed
to the chapel in the Crematorium grounds
where a short commital service, similar to that
at the graveside in the case of burial may take
place.
 
What is a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan?
A Pre-Paid Funeral Plan allows any person the
opportunity to plan in advance, and make financial
provision for a funeral sometime in the future.
Pre-Paid Funeral Plans are offen used to give
assurance that the costs of a funeral will not be a
source of difficulty, especially to relatives and
friends. They are sometimes used to order and
thereby guarantee desired funeral arrangements.
